Your desktop just got a lot more lively.
Birch places adorable animated birds directly on your Windows desktop.
They walk across the taskbar, fly to your icons, take naps when tired —
and notice when you're around.
Features
- Multiple bird species, each with a unique personality and movement style
- Interactive — birds react when you hover or click near them
- Perches on your real desktop icons, not just the background
- Dynamic behavior: idle, walk, fly, rest, startled, and more
- Familiarity system — the more time you spend together, the warmer they become
- Unlock system — discover new species by bonding with your current birds
- Multi-monitor support
- Lightweight — runs quietly in the system tray, never gets in your way
Birds available at launch
- White Cockatoo — sociable and restless, always claiming the nearest icon
- Yellow Cockatoo — active and expressive, hard to ignore
- Eagle — calm and deliberate, flies in clean straight lines
- Owl — sleeps through your workday. Comes alive after dark.
- Sparrow — can't sit still for two seconds
- Chicken — can't fly, but hops between icons with surprising conviction
- Woodpecker — the only one that perches sideways on your icons
- Toucan — hard to miss
- Flamingo — stays low, moves at its own pace
- Long-tailed Tit — tiny, fast, never stops
- Swallow — almost never lands; when it does, it won't stay long
- Java Sparrow — calm and compact, happy just to sit close
More species coming in future updates.
How it works
Birch runs as a transparent overlay above your desktop.
Your birds are always visible, but never block your windows or work.
Access settings or hide all birds anytime from the system tray icon.
